Understanding the Republican State Central Committee (RSCC): A Hidden Powerhouse

How much do you know about the Republican State Central Committee (RSCC)? Chances are, not much—and you’re not alone. This under-the-radar organization quietly wields significant power over the policy direction of the Republican Party in Louisiana. But with this influence comes a critical opportunity: to ensure election transparency.

In our latest discussion, Christy Haik, President of the Louisiana Republican Assembly, revealed how the RSCC sets party rules, endorses candidates, and influences resolutions that resonate throughout state politics. Yet, for many—including Christy before she joined the RSCC—the Committee’s role remains a mystery.

Why does this matter? Because decisions made behind closed doors by bodies like the RSCC have a profound impact on our elections and, ultimately, our lives. As voters, understanding this influence empowers us to demand greater accountability and transparency.
